NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore will cast their ballots in the 2024 Presidential Election from space. The two astronauts are participating in early voting because they are in orbit on the International Space Station more than 200 miles above the nearest polling place. “It’s a very important duty that we have as citizens, and I’m looking forward to being able to vote from space, which is pretty cool,” said Williamsduring a news conference.

Have you ever ridden in a car? How about a car that drives itself? Well, now’s your chance, because autonomous vehicles by Waymo One are hitting the streets!
The vehicle uses multiple cameras, sensors, and radar connected to the surface of the car for a 360degree view. By “remembering” information that it has already experienced, the car will predict what pedestrians and other vehicles will do before they do it. This way, it can drive along a predetermined route, avoiding obstacles and keeping its passengers safe.
